This morning, I realized that I had left out a few important points I wished to make to the 5 bureaucrats I am sending this letter to. Hence, this addendum to the letter.
One of my complaints I voiced in my November 14, 2019 letter to the Inspector Generals of the Florida Dept of Education, the US Department of Education and Secretary Betsy DeVos was that SMR children are being subjected to an entirely preventable risk of choking to death on their food. In the reply I received, Monica Verra-Tirado, Ed.D piously quoted the legal language that says public school children have the legal right to eat their meals in safety. Yes, Ms. Verra-Tirado, Ed.D. You and I both know that public school children have this right. That is not the problem. The problem is that the highest education bureaucrats in the nation are well aware that this right is being violated for Severely Mentally Retarded children, AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT!. The serfs/staff of NKC also supposedly had the right to pursue conversion from a public school to a charter school. This right has been violated and the serfs/staff of NKC have been under lockdown and punishment FOR EIGHT YEARS. The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right is being violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! The serfs/staff of NKC also have the right not to be physically assaulted by the school principal. The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right has been violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! The serfs/staff of NKC have the right not to be shouted at for 20+ minutes by Mrs. Fernandez (Screamer). The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right is being violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.! The tax paying public has the right to receive HONEST results from the yearly achievement tests given to public school children in Florida. This right has been violated at NKC (and perhaps widely throughout MDCPS and the state of Florida.)The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right is being violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. The parents of Severely Mentally Retarded children have the right to have their children protected from physical assault by the school principal. The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right is being violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! Alberto Carvalho, the superintendent of the nation’s fourth largest school district, gives the appearance of running a criminal enterprise, in violation of the public’s right to have the school system run free of practices such as cheating on the yearly achievement tests and practicing blatant racism against minority employees, and using Child Protective Services to terrorize NKC parents who have the temerity to protest against the shoddy treatment Severely Mentally Retarded students seem to be receiving at that unhappy school.The highest education bureaucrats in the nation are aware that this right is being violated AND ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT!
Other than drawing very high salaries and extremely generous benefits at taxpayer expense, what purpose does the US Department of Education, Secretary Betsy DeVos, and the bloated bureaucracies of both the Florida Education Inspector General and the US Department of Education Inspector General serve?
As a result of the MANDATED house arrest of millions of people and the indefinite shuttering of hundreds of thousands of businesses due to the Corona virus scare, literally millions of people are now out of work, possibly for several years. Are you incredibly stupid and arrogant people aware of the level of rage that currently exists towards government bureaucrats? Are you aware that thousands of desperate and very frightened Michigan citizens occupied the interior of the Michigan Capitol building yesterday? My blog is widely read, and has been published by a Florida blogger who reaches an audience of over a million people a month. I have already distributed copies of every correspondence I have ever sent to several independent bloggers in case myself and this other blogger are shut down. Do you incredibly stupid and arrogant highly paid education bureaucrats have any idea of the level of rage people are going to have for you if you allow entirely preventable harm to come to the Severely Mentally Retarded children of NKC?
At Parkland High School, one county away from MDCPS, 34 people were shot, 17 of them fatally. Ms. Varra-Tirado, Ed.D, you can probably piously recite the Florida law that guarantees Florida students and staff safe schools. Do you think that the parents and families of those murdered and wounded people will find any comfort in your words? The stakeholders of Parkland High School have a slogan that says “Never Again.” While this is indeed a noble goal, highly paid Florida professional educational bureaucrats seem to have a slogan that says “Again, and Again, and Again!” because professional educational bureaucrats receive the same generous salaries, whether they do your jobs and enforce the law or not. The superintendent of Broward public schools presided over both the shooting of 34 people and declining academic performance, and it did not cost him his job! What a cruel joke! Mr. Cruz, the man who allegedly shot 34 people, allegedly gave several clear and unmistakable warnings about his alleged murderous intentions. This entirely preventable tragedy happened because highly paid professional educational bureaucrats sat on their behinds and did nothing. Will the Severely Mentally Retarded students of NKC also experience further violence, because highly paid professional educational bureaucrats ignored several clear and unmistakable warnings given by the two current administrators of NKC? A popular slogan currently being bandied about is that teachers need to be held accountable. While myself and most teachers I know heartily agree with this view, we know that the dismal performance of public education in America will never improve until the highly paid professional educational bureaucrats are also held accountable.
Sincerely,
